On the surface, it seems that Han Fuqu has emotions, complaining that Lao Jiang broke his promise and did not give him a heavy artillery brigade, using this as a reason to play a childish temperament, but in fact, in the face of national righteousness, this petty temperament is obviously just an excuse.

No matter how aggrieved you are, in the face of a critical time related to the rise and fall of the country and the nation, you have to swallow it, you are an adult, or a senior military general, don't you understand this truth?

Isn't it a joke to give up the whole of Shandong to the Japanese just for the sake of a heavy artillery brigade?

This was obviously an attempt to preserve strength and fight against the Japanese army, and the losses were greater than in the civil war, but other factional armies were also fighting, and even the most elite divisions of the Central Army were lost in Shanghai.

What's more, without heavy artillery, you can fight devils, and during this period of time, a large number of troops have not fought devils without the support of heavy artillery, and their losses have varied. Therefore, Commander Han could not use this as a reason not to fight the Japanese army.

In just five or six days, Commander Han retreated three or four hundred miles in a row, until he retreated to the area of Shanxian and Cao County in Luxi, and then stopped.

The northern section of Jinpu Road was abandoned, allowing the Japanese army to pick up a big bargain. Suddenly Jinpu was in a hurry! Xuzhou is in a hurry! The whole country is in an uproar!

The Gui Army united with the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army in the Huai River south of Xuzhou, and the devil was helpless, you are Commander Han, but you didn't fight twice, and you gave up the country for hundreds of miles, this is really, how can it be said.

Therefore, in Henan, when Lao Jiang convened a secret military meeting of senior generals, Han Fuqu was arrested on the spot, escorted back to Wuhan, and shot.

This execution shook the whole country, especially those local powerful factions who did not listen to the command, Han Fuqu is a general, and he can be shot, dare to ask how many people in the local area belong to the generals, commanders, and provincial chairmen.

In particular, the military did not listen to the central authorities' tendencies in the past, and this has changed.

Originally, thinking of Han Fuqu's previous exploits, Lao Jiang did not plan to shoot him, after all, he was a local magistrate and general, and at most he would be imprisoned until the end of his life.

But in such a tense special period of the Anti-Japanese War, Lao Jiang could only borrow Han Fuqu's head to use it to make an example of chickens and monkeys, and to eliminate the atmosphere of military law.

Although this drama is over, the situation in the area north of Xuzhou is still very serious, the Japanese army Chen soldiers tens of thousands, two-pronged, the 10th Division marched to Teng County, the 5th Division has gone south, and now even down Yishui, Juxian, Rizhao, straight to Linyi.

Linyi is located in the northeast of Xuzhou, belongs to the northeast gate, once opened, according to the Japanese army's mechanization, you can reach Xuzhou within one day, so, this place can not be missed.

Guarding Linyi is the 3rd Army Corps, which is said to be a corps, but in fact there are only five regiments, that is, the strength of a division, and the commander of the corps, Pang Bingxun, is a veteran who is nearly 60 years old.

General Pang Lao was transferred from the Beiyang Army to Feng Yuxiang, and after the defeat of the Central Plains War against Chiang, he was reorganized into the 40th Army by Chiang and subordinate to the 3rd Army Corps.

Such a miscellaneous unit, where can it withstand the repeated attacks of aircraft, artillery and tanks of the elite 5th Division of the Japanese army, it will soon be overstretched.

The 5th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the division is Itagaki Seishiro, so it is also called the Itagaki Division, which is the most elite mechanized unit of the Japanese army, known as the Steel Army.

……

Tan Yizhong, the commander of the second platoon of the third company of the second battalion of the 223rd regiment of the 112th brigade of the 38th division of the 59th army, and Qin Guogang, the commander of the third platoon, all received the notice and quickly assembled, led the team to the railway station, and took the train.

After getting on the train, I learned that they were going to Linyi to support the 3rd Army Corps.

The unique stuffy tank train of that era, carrying the 59th Army, rushed to Yixian, the train arrived here, and then the road to Linyi, there was no railway, so I could only walk with my feet.

But here to Linyi, there are 180 miles of road, if the normal army walks, it will take three days, but Linyi is already urgent.

With a wave of his hand, the whole army ran forward, forced the march, and arrived in Linyi after one day.

"I'm going to go all day and night without rest, running all the way forward, running 180 miles, it's going crazy." Tan Yizhong joked to Qin Guogang beside him.

"Let's do our best, maybe we'll be able to accomplish this seemingly impossible task." Qin Guogang has always been more easy-going.

Jokes aside, orders still have to be carried out, and the whole army spread their legs and ran, because the commander himself also ran, and almost all the horses were brought to pull weapons and ammunition.

After running for two or three hours, some people couldn't stand it anymore and gasped for breath on the side of the road, and after running out for half a day, someone fainted and died on the side of the road, and the health soldiers treated it urgently.

After running for a day, even eating and drinking, he kept grabbing dry food on the road, drinking some water from the kettle to satisfy his hunger, and when it was time for a short rest, Tan Yizhong, who was lying down, couldn't stand up.

Both legs are unconscious, if there are no leggings, it is estimated that the whole legs will be scrapped, a large amount of congestion, may squeeze the blood vessels in the legs.

Many people can't tie it anymore when they loosen it, and their calves are swollen like winter melons. Tan Yizhong stood up with the help of the people around him, and felt that the whole person was floating.

After shaking his head, he calmed down and walked with the army, because he did not get rest, many people walked and walked, and they heard the sound of falling on the side of the road, which must have been someone who was so tired that he fell asleep.

There was a soldier under Qin Guogang, who fell on the side of the road, and he hadn't woken up yet, and he was still snoring and sleeping soundly, so angry that Lao Qin went up and slapped several big mouths before he woke him up.

In the evening, the sky was not beautiful, it was snowing heavily, and a biting cold wind blew, and on the field, in an instant, it was white, and more than 20,000 people of the 59th Army, like little ants, braved the wind and snow and continued to advance.

On the afternoon of March 12, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China (1938), in the western suburbs of Linyi, dense soldiers appeared, they were the 59th Army, and the 59th Army forcibly marched 180 miles all day.

"Holy shit, we did it."

As soon as Qin Guogang finished saying this, he fell to the ground and fainted, strictly speaking, he fell asleep, and no one could wake up.

Seeing the 59th Army descending from the sky like a divine soldier, the entire defensive line of Linyi suddenly thundered with joy, and the hearts of the 3rd Army Corps were greatly boosted.

Almost all the officers and men of the 59th Army, except for some high-ranking generals who immediately held a meeting with the 3rd Army Corps to discuss how to fight devils, all the others lay down on the ground and slept first.

Some people slept for a whole day and a night, and so did Qin Guogang, if he wasn't really hungry and woke up hungry, he would probably be able to sleep.

But there was no time to sleep, and after waking up all the people who didn't wake up, they immediately ate and prepared for battle.

The 59th Army did not defend to the death, but chose to take the initiative to attack, and on the night of the 13th, Qin Guogang and Tan Yizhong followed the troops and infiltrated in front of the enemy's position.

Defending will also die, and attacking will also die, but if you attack it, you will definitely be able to kill a few more devils.

Since the success of the bloody battle of the Huai River, the 59th Army has temporarily blocked the mouths of the common people, they are not traitors, their commanders are not traitors, they are all people who fight devils.

Before the expedition, there were still people who wanted to question or question the 59th Army, and Commander Zhang blurted out:

"Soldiers serve the country, is how to find a chance to die, now the country is broken, it can be said that it is the crime of our soldiers, we want to wash away the sins today, there is only one way: is to die, to die for the country as soon as possible, and to die for the country with honor......"

This kind of courage is unsurpassed!
